The exhibition is watching you

The work of Mexican-born artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer could be the most personal art you've ever seen. That's because it uses parts of your body - from your pulse to your fingerprint - to create exhibits when you visit the gallery.

In Pulse Room (see video, above) 300 incandescent light-bulbs illuminate a room. A participant-viewer touches a sensor that detects their heartbeat, which directly affects the lighting. When the participant lets go of the sensor, all the lights are extinguished for a short time. The heartbeat joins with 300 of the most recent heartbeats to set the patterns of light.
